May 2020 - Film

Welcome All!

In terms of new films this month, here are two recommendations that you may find entertaining in the cinema this month.


Films in May:


A teen dramedy like writer/director Alice Wu’s The Half of It, while usually finding itself fabricated in the realm of fiction, almost always has a kernel of truth to its events. But in the case of this particular Netflix original, Wu’s script actually drew quite a bit for her own experiences in life. In particular her personal journey through college, and the loss of a friendship, were what helped push things along.


Real life is messy, and when friendships intersect with love, it’s even more complicated. But such events lead to inspiring results in the world of film, which only makes the magic of the movies all the more attractive. Meaning a project like The Half of It gives someone like Alice Wu the chance to re-write real sadness into a beautiful fiction.
